Why not take this reasoning one step further and have Hacker news impose an 80 character line wrap limit?
If you've ever had to deal with this in an email client, you can quickly see that 80 is undershooting it in the modern era.
- nesadi 7y agoFunny. I preferentially read HN on my phone which has probably what looks like around a 80 char limit. It makes it really comfortable to read.
- yawaramin 7y agoI don't understand–I quite enjoy reading a well-formatted plaintext email that sticks inside an 80-character line width. Any mail client worth its salt should be able to display that.
